Feingold's Visit to Iowa City

By Sam Garchik

Wisconsin Senator Russ Feingold came to Iowa City yesterday to remind us that we need to do everything we can to elect Dave Loebsack.  "There are critical moments when we are deciding the well being of the American People.  This is the time to break one party rule."  Feingold moved on to Cedar Rapids for a fundraiser for Dave.  Before he could go, Dennis and Robin Roseman stopped to ask about an FAA contract dispute. 

Did anyone else get a chance to talk to, or see Feingold?  What were your impressions?

First, a death and a birth.  Who's Makin Bacon is quitting the business.  It will be sad to see him go.  The rest of us will try to carry on as best we can. The birth comes from Iowa Progress, which launched what they claim was "the first progressive podcast in the state."  Check it out.

And for those who think that our best chance for a Gore Presidency was stolen in 2000, Century for the Common Iowan explained that the mechanisms were in place for a Gore presidency if we elect a Democratic Congress.  It will take a big crisis in government, but one that we know here at BFIA is long overdue.

And finally, we come to humor: a get well card for Grassley from Iowa Progress, and how many Shrub administration members does it take to change a lightbulb from Iowa Liberal.

Once again, you can check out all the Iowa Blogs I subscribe to via Feedblitz, which consolidates your surfing and sends the posts to you daily via email.
